Cactus Toothpick Holder

Very cool toothpick holder for your tabltop by John Brauer, available at Moma

Marimekko – Puutahurin Parhaat Apron

We’ve been searching around for Marimekko fabric for drapes in our new living room. At the shop today I noticed some pretty baller aprons including this Puutahurin Parhaat Apron. Wish I could have walked around the printmaking shop in one of these.

The Edgewood Cup

The Edgewood Cup is a series of porcelain cups with wood grain imprints. I like the mixture of natural and manmade.

Atypyk – Clown Nose Mug

I know that this Clown Nose mug by Atypyk is really just supposed to be funny, but I like it as a way to bring a subtle pop of color to a mug. It would be fun to see these in a bunch of different colors.

Stanley – Nineteen13

Stanley, which is a different company than the tool maker, makes all sorts of burly containers for food and drink. Their new Ninteen13 collection includes this slick Vaccum mug. The collection even has a colorway called ‘stormtrooper’. Nice.

Freaker USA

These are cool one-size-fits-all knit drink cozies by Freaker. They keep your hands dry, and stop drink mixups. I dig.

Fred – Matroyshka Timer

We have a set of the Fred nesting measuring cups, but it would be cool to have a hidden kitchen timer to go with them.

OXO Water Bottle

A nice array of 2-tone colors in the OXO water bottle. The very smart double cap allows for sipping (small) and filling/cleaning (large).

Minimal USA – The Sliding Top




MINIMAL USA recently introduced The Sliding Top – a countertop system that slides open to reveal an induction stainless steel cooktop and a retractable faucet. I like the idea, but what do you think of a system like this? Would you use it in both configurations? Or would you end up leaving it open all the time so that the sink was always accessible?

Boat, Robot and Rocket Popsicle Holders

Being that it’s blazing hot outside and it’s going to be 96 degrees today, a popsicle (or five) sounds like just the thing. These boat, robot and rocket popsicle holders from Uncommon Goods are super fun.
